The relationship between a coach and his players is a special bond. The relationship between a father and son runs even deeper. When those two worlds mix it can make for an interesting circumstance and, in some cases, a very talented basketball player.

The Sterlington boys basketball team is reaping the benefits of it with senior guard Lance Richard, son of ULM head coach Keith Richard. Lance has never known anything but basketball since he was a small child and can never recall a time when he didn't enjoy being in the gym with a ball bouncing in and out of his hand.
